Description
1988 CS 36 Merlin
This two-owner boat was purchased by the current owner in 2002 and in 2014 sailed from Canada to Mexico’s Sea of Cortez where she awaits her next owner to carry on the adventure. SV Leap of Faith is a well-maintained example of the craftsmanship of this Canadian Seacraft built Tony Castro designed fin keel sloop known for is speed and comfort under sail. After spending the last 8yrs sailing around the Sea of Cortez based out of Puerto Escondido, SV Leap of Faith can be easily seen by flying into Loreto, Baja California Sur (Airport Code LTO).
